Yeah tell me about it. My retro store put it aside for me and its going to cost 40.00. 40.00 that's freaking crazi for hyperstone heist. Im going to have to trade in a lot of my games for this. I don't mind skimming my games for a game I really want but damn I remember buying it new for 35.00 at Kay bee toy stores in 1993 and now its gone past the original price.

That would have only been after it was our for a while and the price was going down to clear stock. It came out August 1992 and would have been around $50 at release. Also $35 in 1993 money is about $57 now. $50 in 1992 money is about $84.

Hey, mas. I really think you just need some flash carts. :D I think I paid around $39 for a mint CIB copy about 3 years ago. So for $40 if its CIB and in great shape, buy it. :D

It's cart only. Im going to trade games to get credit for. And yeah that would help a lot for flash cards but I really like owning the carts.

Yeah. They go on ebay and see what's been sold and right now its going for 40.00 or higher. I know its a lot of money. But I'm afraid if I dont get it now then its just going to go up. This is why I get frustrated at times lol. For that price I can get a ps2 and get turtles 2 and 3 and get the arcade games. Different music but whatever.
I also wanted to tell you that they also are selling megaman x2 for 80 and they sold ducktales 2 for 110.00 and turtles in time for 70.00.
It's the only place to get games in Worcester and the thrift stores have nothing ever when I show up.

I don't see Hyperstone Heist going anywhere but up. One of the many gems I wish weren't given away when I was a kid and got new systems.

Is the Tiny Toons one "Buster's Hidden Treasure"? That one was better than I thought. Kind of a wanna-be Sonic in some ways, but not bad
